Best Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales 2025.

If you’ve been reading this Brooklyn style blog across the past few weeks and months (and indeed, years!), hopefully, you’re on board with the idea that buying less can mean buying better, investing in top-notch gear across the board. Taking a bit of extra time and putting some extra thought into curating your wardrobe gives you a sense of versatility and wearability no matter the situation (be it rugged or more formal), and naturally, your favorite online menswear brands can surely help.

And given how cluttered the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals market happens to be these days, it certainly pays off to buy less, but buy better. Tracking down your favorite gear and menswear retailers pays dividends, especially if those retailers — like the good folks at Huckberry or Bespoke Post or Todd Snyder are offering up previously unheard-of discounts on a range of premium gear for the holiday season.

Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow’s Tech Pants are Some of the Most Versatile Pants On The Market

I tend to find that the best menswear brands are the ones that have a true specialty, the ones that focus on doing one thing well — and then branch out from there. Mott and Bow, with its original focus on the best jeans for men (and an easy, efficient online ordering and return process), has honed that focus in recent years with a slew of jeans, including Italian-made denim.

They’ve grown by leaps and bounds in the New York City menswear scene, at least in my experience across the past decade.

Find out more now at Mott and Bow

Yes indeed, the brand that makes your favorite blue jeans now makes everything from T-shirts to sweaters and hoodies, plus henleys, polos and stretch chinos.

And that brings us to the latest and greatest from the fan-favorite denim brand: That’d be the Mott and Bow Tech Pants, which I’ve recently taken for a spin in my many travels as I pursue stories across the country and globe.

With the Mott and Bow pedigree for making some of the best pants for men, period, it makes perfect sense that the brand would deliver a modern, fresh way to look great while on the go — and the Mott and Bow Tech Pants up the ante with innovative fabric, sleek good looks and the brand’s commitment to a flattering fit.

Mott and Bow says you’ll want to wear these pants every single day, and it’s hard to argue with that sentiment — the difference with the Mott and Bow Tech Pants starts, of course, with fabrication and follows from there with a proper fit. The use of 8 percent Sonora yarn in addition to stretch-filled polyester helps give them structure and shape while resisting wrinkles and fighting moisture and odor. Five pockets deliver storage for your everyday carry essentials, while a side-seam pocket features a zippered compartment to store other valuables on the go.

There’s much to love about the Mott and Bow Tech Pants, in my experience, but lightweight mesh pocketing also offers up comfort and wearability. The polished slim fit (about as slim as the brand’s Slim Denim) makes for a crisp look — the kind that feels at home in the office, out on the links, on a business-class flight or at dinner after a long day of travel.

Yes indeed, the Mott and Bow Tech Pants can do all of that, and then some — they’re also easy to dress down relatively quickly with a T-shirt or a short-sleeve henley, but the handsome tailored fit of the Mott and Bow Tech Pants makes them ideal to wear with an Oxford shirt and a stretch blazer, to name but one combination.

And while I opted for a sleek Granite colorway, these durable, lightweight Tech Pants also come in colors like Navy and Khaki, all the better to pair with just about any menswear offerings in your wardrobe. For supreme lightweight comfort, polished style and go-anywhere good looks, I think you’ve found a pair of pants that can take on just about anything.

Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts – A Perfect Pair for the Summer Months

When a company that specializes in one menswear essential — say, making some of the best jeans for men — dives into another category entirely, the results are usually worth checking out, at least in my experience. That certainly has held true over the years when it comes to New York City’s Mott and Bow, a brand that’s been on my radar for about a decade now — namely, for making some of the best men’s denim.

Learn more and shop now at Mott and Bow

And yet, as we roll into summer, it’s worth noting that once again, the brand that makes your favorite jeans is stepping into another category in time for the cooler months: The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts are here in a wide array of colors and a near-perfect design for months of wear.

The upstart company also has a knack for other seasonal staples, like one of the best men’s overshirts, along with, of course, some of the best lightweight jeans for summer. But when the thermostat rises too high even for light wash denim, something much cooler and more breezy is needed — whether the occasion is a rooftop shindig, a brewery beer session or a backyard BBQ, my friends.

Mott and Bow men's shorts review.

The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts join other summer-friendly wares from the retailer, including buttery-soft T-shirts and polished polos, and in my experience, the same details that make the brand’s denim so great for the price certainly hold true when it comes to the best shorts for summer.

The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts feature a blend of 98 percent cotton and 2 percent spandex, with a stretch factor of a whopping 25 percent — that means these shorts really move with you, and they could even be ideal for a day on the links.

They’re also built with an agreeable 8-inch inseam and come in a wide range of sizes for every body type. The brand notes they can even be cuffed for a shorter fit, while crisp details like side slant pockets give them the ability to be dressed up with a knit polo or dressed down with a pocket tee. There are also back flap pockets to hold your everyday carry on or off the links — or anywhere else summer takes you, in fact.

Shop summer shorts and more from Mott and Bow

The handsome, well-made Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts retail for a very agreeable $99, but you can bundle multiple pairs and save — they could become your new go-to shorts multiple days a week, based on the colors you select.

The Mott and Bow Stretch Chino Shorts deliver maximum flexibility, versatility and comfort in one package — a wise choice when the weather calls for something more lightweight than denim. You know where to go to find some of the best men’s shorts for summer, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Mott and Bow is Now Making One of the Best Overshirts for Men

Best shirt jackets for men.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: When a menswear company branches out beyond its typical focus, yet manages to dream up staple pieces that pair expertly with its, well, general expertise, it’s a sight to behold. Hyperbole aside, that means that I’ve kept a close eye over the years on Mott and Bow, makers of your favorite jeans.

And now, you can also consider them makers of luxurious cashmere sweaters, perfectly fitting cotton tees and of course, one of the best men’s shirt jackets as seen above. Yes, premium denim in a range of fits and washes is the main focus at Mott and Bow, but a series of rugged and subtly stylish overshirts have now joined the decade-plus-old lineup at the NYC denim brand — and it’s for the better, at least in my experience.

A hearty, thick blended wool fabrication sets the Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket from the pack in each of its three versatile colors (including my personal favorite, a rich Olive number). The Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket also features two notched-flap patch chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials, while satin binding at each of the seams gives this men’s shirt jacket a rather refined finish.

The Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket is also built with double back yokes, the better for ease of movement as you layer your new favorite shirt jacket over a thermal shirt, your favorite henley or even a Mott and Bow long-sleeve T-shirt on casual days.

And at its core, the pleasingly rugged Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket should style up in expert fashion with dark blue, black, grey or tan Mott and Bow jeans. In fact, in my experience, any shade and fit of Mott and Bow men’s denim should work well for casually rugged style alongside the new Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket.

It’s a new product offering from one of the best denim brands out there, and it just makes perfect sense in my book — how about you? If you end up taking the plunge with one of these shirt jackets, let me know in the comments or on Instagram, my friends.

Best cashmere sweaters for men.

It’s always a pleasure to come across what you might call a pleasant surprise in the world of menswear essentials, like the fact that a brand that makes some of your favorite jeans also makes a host of other men’s style staples to go along with ’em.

That’s where Mott and Bow enters the fray — and your wardrobe — by making not only some of my favorite jeans on the market, but one of the best cashmere sweaters for men out there. The Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater looks simple enough on the surface, but dial down more closely and realize that it’s about as luxe as it gets — and a stellar value for the price tag.

This handsome, subtly stylish cashmere crew hits all the right notes, I’ve found, in terms of stylish cashmere sweaters. In my experience, Mott and Bow men’s sweaters are soft and yet supple, yet never flimsy – they also hold their shape nicely when worn on their own, or atop an Oxford shirt (a personal favorite combination of mine).

Plus, the crewneck design of the Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater — complete with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed neckline — is versatile enough to stand up to casual looks (like a pair of Mott and Bow jeans) or more refined style moves (like stretch chinos and leather Chelsea boots).

It also comes in five easy-to-style colors, including the personal favorite Hunter Green as shown above — with Mott and Bow, you’ve certainly got options.

The Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater is also available in a nice array of well-fitted sizes — I’ve found that Mott and Bow men’s sweaters run true to size, and feature plenty of room to comfortably layer.

The mid-weight cashmere fabric is neither too thick (Read: Hot!) nor too flimsy, something else I certainly appreciate when it comes to the Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater. No matter the color you select this season, I’d wager this elegant-yet-accessible cashmere option could quickly become a new daily staple.

Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow Warren Jeans – The Perfect Casual Men’s Jeans for Summer

There are certain summer style essentials that are commonplace, true must-haves: The right pair of stretch chino shorts, the proper T-shirt for breezy casual style, and so on. Other pieces, like a pair of the best men’s jeans, can be tougher to wear — and even tougher to phase out of your wardrobe.

Take it from me: I’m a huge fan of wearing the best jeans for men as often as I can, usually with rugged chukka boots or high-top sneakers. And those jeans tend to hail from Mott and Bow, a brand that in my experience, delivers the goods in terms of utility, design and dependability.

Shop Mott and Bow men’s denim now

Yet when the high heat of summer is too daunting, I’ve found a helpful solution: Rocking a pair of Mott and Bow men’s jeans — at least, when the temperature is within reason — proves stylish, versatile and yes, a nice move for everyone who simply can’t get enough of the best blue jeans for men.

Mott and Bow men's jeans review.

I’d wager it’s not the first time you’ve come across a Mott and Bow review here on the blog, as I’ve been a longtime fan of the NYC-based denim upstart, which boasts decades of family experience at the top of its business (founder Alejandro Chanin grew up around the industry, after all).

And that means the Mott and Bow Warren Jeans are well-designed, stylish, easily wearable and even lightweight enough to wear in the summer months (again, within reason — proceed accordingly!). Your new favorite blue jeans for men, delivered in a pleasing and summer-friendly medium wash, feature a stretch factor of 18 percent.

That stretch makes ’em easy to wear on the go — with short-sleeve buttondowns, with one of your favorite polos or with a USA-made T-shirt.

Learn more now and shop at Mott & Bow

Note that they feature a mid-weight fabric, so they’ll prove more sturdy than jeans from a fast-fashion retailer — and they’ll prove an apt choice on slightly cooler summer nights, too. With waist sizing up to 40 inches and a reliable slim fit, the Mott and Bow Warren Jeans check all the proper boxes in matters of seasonal style and comfort: Unlock your new go-to pair of blue jeans today, my friends.

Mott and Bow men's denim review.

When the weather takes a turn for the better, well, that’s when it’s time to dust off some of those trusty spring style essentials — like a pair of the best light wash jeans from my friends at Mott and Bow. Light wash jeans are an ideal style move for, well, the lighter, sunnier, warmer days of spring and summer, with an easygoing air that adds particular appeal alongside staple pieces like one of the best crewneck sweaters or, better still, a casually cool T-shirt or short-sleeve henley.

And there’s no time like the present to get some of the best men’s light wash jeans on sale. Speaking of sales: Yes, that’d be the Mott and Bow Winter Sale, a close-out opportunity to save 30 percent on styles like the Mott and Bow Laight Jeans.

Best light wash jeans for men.

They boast a mid-weight cotton denim fabric (with 2 percent elastane for stretch), which is then elevated with a 16 percent stretch factor (take heed — 2 percent stretch fabric but a 16 percent stretch factor). But the most important factor when it comes to the Mott and Bow Winter Sale? Those crucial savings of 30 percent off. Here just in time for a new season, find your new favorite jeans ASAP, my friends.
